I have to admit, that's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen on a news site.

OF COURSE it smells!!! But damn is asparagus good.

1. Once at work during the 80's, after not having eaten asparagus for years...

...having forgotten about that smell, I was standing in front of
the urinal when the smell hit me (though I find it oddly pleasant).

I immediately started running through my recent sexual history.

:rofl: True story!!!

3. If a man speaks in the forest and there's no woman there to hear him - is he still wrong?
No offense intended to the female DUers, that's just one of my favorites.

5. It's genetic if you can spell the asparagus - not everyone can smell it
I can. I have the gene

And I love asparagus too.

6. I finally have a prolific asparagus bed - first one since I was 5 years old.
That's probably why I love it so much. I put one in about 5 years ago and it produces more than we can use now - it is only about 15'x4' and has maybe 20 or so of the original crowns (plus the off-shoots). I think it is going to produce a fall crop this year. That hasn't happened before, but the crowns are budding.

7. I can. My husband can't. When I do the shopping, we eat broccoli instead of asparagus.
:D

8. Supposedly it is a great hangover cure too.
The asparagus I mean.

But though I love asparagus, I never want it when I am hungover lol.
